APPLETON - Gov. Scott Walker said Wednesday that Wisconsin faces daily cybersecurity threats and continues to learn how best to fend them off.

“There are attempts every single day to compromise our systems,” he said.

Walker emphasized cybersecurity during his speech at the annual Governor's Conference on Emergency Management and Homeland Security on Wednesday at the Fox Cities Exhibition Center in downtown Appleton.

Walker highlighted efforts by the state to address cybersecurity, including an annual cybersecurity summit held last fall that he said gave state officials and industry leaders a chance to learn from each other.

Wisconsin and federal officials have already denied much of the report by saying there were no signs that hackers were successful in their attempts to penetrate the state's systems.

Walker said Wednesday that Wisconsin was only included in those reports because state officials managed to detect the threats and report them to federal officials.

“I want to be clear, if someone is from a state where they’re not reporting that there were attempts made in this last election, they should be asking their officials why don’t they know about it," Walker said.
